    It's looking pretty good. So your hair will fall out first? How does that work exactly?

    On a serious note, I am getting closer to making the decision to get this done.
    I didn't realize you were contemplating getting an FUE.

    Looking very good fred. We had our surgery the same day I think? May 15th? Not sure with the time difference being as you are in Europe and I am on the East Coast. Your donor area definitely bounced back faster than mine. You are healing quickly there. We both lost our scabs around day 7 and 8.

    dude its gonna look good! already looks solid

    just need those suckers to grow in and give some decent density and i think you will have a satisfying result

    maybe constantly buzz the sides to zero'' or 1'' and keep the top slightly longer youll just be a guy with a buzzcut

    8 days post-op

    Here's an update of my evolution 8 days after my FUE. I managed to remove all the crust and I must say that for now I'm thrilled. Too bad I will have to go through a shed in a few days and wait months to see the results. My donor (that I shaved again today) shows one or two red spots, other than that, it looks untouched to me. Do you think this is looking good, I'm cautious about being overly optimistic and then not having the regrowth that I expect in a few months.

    The pictures







    And a bonus, a picture of myself just before the surgery:

    Thank you Chuck and Artista .

    The short answer: I just didn't want to be "the bald guy".

    And to be honest, I had some "disposable" income and I wondered, what is the best thing I could buy? What would truly make me happier? Some more hair.

    I hope it will turn out great of course, but in the end, it's just a bonus. I would be OK if I had to shave my head for the rest of my life.

    Small update: I just washed my hair for the first time (the doc instructed to do it one week after the transplant). At the recipient, some scabs fell, some didn't and almost all the scabs are gone in the donor, you could not tell anything was done, I'm quite impressed.

    I'm going to try again the next few days for the remaining crusts, and I'm going to take pictures when most of it is gone.

    just a question, but why did you ultimately decide to do this?

    you've always at least seemed to be more or less okay with your situation as a bald dude from what I've read in other posts (about lifestyle, dating, being a normal person, etc), so I always assumed you were not going to opt for the transplant. But, being that you did, I am curious as to what made you decide to do it?

    Again, Chuck , you could not have said it better and I agree!
    Fred, if you never had had this done you would still be a DAPPER looking man!
    Of course we ALL understand the need within that you have had.
    Dr De Reys did a FANTASTIC FUE job on you.
    Fred- Compliments go out to BOTH.
    I am very HAPPY for you bro!!
    I have no doubts that you shall be a SATISFIED young man in the upcoming months ,and years!
    Thank you for choosing to share with us your continued experience with us.
    Cant wait to see your scalps progression.
    The photos of your donor hair are GREAT.
    Cheers!

    Can't believe you made this terrible mistake! Just messing man Happy growing! I'm on month 3 and I'm seeing a very SMALL amount of hair sprouting but it's hard to tell. I told Cole I wanted to plan for future loss so he made my hairline higher.

    Keep us updated!
